CE Certification
This instrument conforms to the following standards:
EN61326: Electrical equipment for measurement, control and
laboratory use.
IEC61000-4-2: Electrostatic discharge immunity test.
IEC61000-4-3: Radiated, radio-frequency, Electromagnetic
field immunity test.
IEC61000-4-8: Power frequency magnetic field immunity
test.
Tests were conducted using a frequency range of
80-1000MHz with the instrument in three orientations.
The average error for the three orientations is ±1.0 °F
(±0.5 °C) at 3V/m throughout the spectrum. However,
between 781-1000MHz at 3V/m, the instrument may not
meet its stated accuracy.
The device may not be disposed in the trash. It
promotes the re-use recycling and other forms of
recovery of used materials and components, and to
improve the environmental performance of all operators
(manufacturers, traders, treatment facilities) involved in the
life cycle of products. Dispose of the product appropriately in
accordance with relevant regulations.

OPERATIONS OF INSTRUMENT
QUICK START:
To measure a temperature, point the unit at the target that
you want to measure, pull the measuring trigger and hold. In
SCAN mode, the LCD displays either the current temperature
in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The unit will HOLD the last reading for about 6 seconds after
the trigger is released; the word HOLD appears.
Be sure to consider the target area that is inside the angle of
vision of this instrument.
The single spot of laser is used for aiming only.
UNIT DIAGRAM:
LCD DISPLAY:
°F/°C AND BATTERY
CHANGE:
The unit is powered by
“9V” battery and displays
temperature in either
°F/°C. The user has to
replace the battery when
the battery voltage drops
below the voltage for
reliable operation and at
the same time the low
battery symbol will
appear. To change the
“9V” battery, pull and open the unit’s handle by using the
finger. Change the “9V” battery with a new one and push the
battery cover back in place.
TECHNIQUES OF INFRARED THERMOMETER:
FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) RATIO =
DISTANCE TO DIAMETER (DS) RATIO
The field of view is the angle of vision at which the
instrument operates and it is determined by the optics of the
unit. The FOV is the ratio of the distance from the target to
the target diameter. The smaller the target, the closer you
should be to it. When the target diameter
is small, it is important
to bring the
thermometer closer to
the target to insure that
only the target is
measured, excluding
the surroundings.

EMISSIVITY:
Emissivity is the ability of an object to omit or absorb energy.
Perfect emitters have an emissivity of 1, emitting 100% of
incident energy. An object with an emissivity of 0.8 will
absorb 80% and reflect 20% of the incident energy.
Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated by an
object at a given temperature to the energy emitted by a
perfect radiator at the same temperature. All values of
emissivity fall between 0.0 and 1.0.
Non-contact temperature sensors measure IR energy emitted
by the target, have fast response, and are commonly used to
measure moving and intermittent targets, targets in a
vacuum, and targets that inaccessible due to hostile
environments, geometry limitations, or safety hazard.
The cost is relatively higher, although in some cases it is
comparable to contact devises.
MAINTENANCE:
Cleaning the lens: Blow off loose particles using clean
compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris away with a
camel’s hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a moist
cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN THE LENS.
CLEANING THE HOUSING: Use soap and water on a damp
sponge or soft cloth.
